Class ERXDelayedRequestHandler

com.webobjects.appserver.WORequestHandler

er.extensions.appserver.ERXDelayedRequestHandler

public class ERXDelayedRequestHandler
extends WORequestHandler

When this request handler is set via registerRequestHandlerForKey(new ERXDelayedRequestHandler(), ERXDelayedRequestHandler.KEY), then a request that takes too long is automatically detached and a poor man's long response is returned. It is pretty cool in that:

• the users don't get the adaptor timeout and won't get redirected to an instance that doesn't know anything about the session.
• the users get immediate feedback with no code changes on your part.
• the handler tries to cancels active requests that take too long (default is maxRequestTimeSeconds*5), which should mean no more session deadlocks.
• you can subclass this handler to provide for better responses.
• you can provide a simple style sheet for the default refresh page.
